Oilpaper, also known as wax paper, is a type of paper that is coated with paraffin wax or vegetable wax to make it resistant to moisture, grease, and gas permeability. It is commonly used for a range of purposes such as wrapping food items, lining baking trays, and protecting surfaces during painting or DIY projects. There are several synonyms for oilpaper, including greaseproof paper, parchment paper, baking paper, and butcher paper. All of these synonyms share the same function of being a non-stick and water-resistant paper that is perfect for food preparation and arts and crafts projects. Regardless of the name, oilpapers are essential in any household, bakery, or studio.
